A chamber for a light bulb and wires can be purchased on the market or used remnants from an old lamp.

From papier-mache

Interesting solutions for interior design is a lampshade made of papier-mâché. For the decor you need white paper, old newspapers (you can replace it with thin sheets of paper), PVA glue, balloon, water. Before starting work, the balloon is inflated to the size that the lamp will be afterwards. The newspaper needs to be cut into long strips, which briefly leave in glue or paste. The surface of the ball should be watered with water and lay out the first layer of the newspaper. One of the parts of the ball is not sealed, since light will then emanate from it.

On the cardboard the chosen contour (butterflies, hearts, asterisks, etc.) is applied. With the help of a stationery knife, the selected drawings are cut from the cloth. The cardboard is glued along the edges and fastened to the frame of the future lamp. On the edge of the lampshade, you can attach ribbons or a fishing line decorated with beads, on which to hang symbols cut from cardboard.

In the upper part, a string is sewn and everything is ready - the lampshade is ready. Such a product is attached to a metal frame and can also be easily removed.

A more complex version of the fabric shade can be decorated with ruffles, weave ribbons. Quite original look shades, trimmed with fabric ribbons or embroidered with beads and pawns.

For the decor of the living room, you can make a lampshade decorated with ribbons with fringe. Ready-made tapes are sold in stores for sewing.

The free edges of the twine are connected, and the knot must be placed in the upper part of the ball, where the chamber will then be located. Dry the product will be approximately 2-3 days.
